GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Even with an injured shoulder, Jamelle Cornley was too much for Florida to handle.

Cornley had 23 points and 12 rebounds, Stanley Pringle added 15 points and Penn State beat short-handed Florida 71-62 Tuesday night in the NIT quarterfinals.

The Nittany Lions (25-11) improved to 5-0 in the NIT quarterfinals and advanced to play in New York’s Madison Square Garden next week.

The Gators used a late run to cut the lead to 61-59, but Penn State turned to Cornley down the stretch. The 6-foot-5 senior backed down Dan Werner for a basket, then got a key rebound on the other end.

Nick Calathes, who struggled all night shooting, missed two 3-pointers in the final minutes for Florida (25-11). He finished with 10 points and seven assists.

Erving Walker led the Gators with 16 points and made four of the team’s five 3-pointers. Alex Tyus had 15 points.

Penn State, especially Pringle, was considerably better from behind the arc. The Nittany Lions were 8-of-25 from 3-point range, with Pringle hitting five of them.

Baylor 74, Auburn 72

AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — Curtis Jerrells grabbed a key rebound then made 1-of-2 free throws with 6.9 seconds left, helping Baylor to advance to the semifinals of the NIT with a 74-72 win over Auburn Tuesday night.

Kevin Rogers added 19 points and nine rebounds to help the Bears (23-14) extend their improbable run after finishing ninth in the Big 12 Conference and going 59 years without a postseason win.

The Tigers (24-12), who matched the second-best win total in program history, had two chances in the final seconds to at least tie it.
